One of my major reasons for wanting to leave naij is just so I can try all those jekuje from fast food restaurants. Chipotle, Chick-fil-A etc. They look so good
I think even if it's just a sneaky link arrangement, you should still do nice things. Go on dates, party together, flirt often, buy gifts, etc You don't have to be in an exclusive relationship to enjoy or do cute and fun things.
